Sharing your story is a brilliant way to help support a community of people who may have similar experiences to you and the charitable impact we can make.
By sharing your story, you can help inform and inspire other deaf people, or those living with hearing loss or tinnitus, and share your lived experience with the public. You’ll also be supporting the impact we can make as a charity, as real lived experience helps the public to want to help.
The kind of stories we’re looking for right now
We always want to hear your stories, whatever they’re about. Right now, we’re particularly interested in:
- Your experiences accessing health care – for example, at your GP, the hospital, dental practices and opticians
- What attitudes towards your deafness or hearing loss you’ve experienced by the public
- Your experience of needing ear wax removal and of those removal services
- Experiences of how RNID might have supported you on your journey of being deaf, or of having hearing loss or tinnitus
- If you’re a parent who is raising – or has raised – a deaf child
- If you’ve tried to watch TV without subtitles
- If you are taking on a fundraising challenge for RNID.
